This story is on hiatus until I've finished the rewrite of Lunarium. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but assure you that I'm working things out as neatly as I can.

On a continent far to the east, where the mountainous kingdom of the griffons lies, there lived a young girl of noble birth by the name of Gilda. Three years ago, her parents fell to a darkness that was in turn ended by the arrival of the alicorn princess Twilight Sparkle, leaving Gilda as lady of the castle of Goldenhall.

She lived her life under the thumbs of her two uncles, sheltered and distanced from the world. That changes when she is called to the coming of age ritual called the Great Hunt. Together with a close friend of hers she has to beat the northern wasteland and prove to the entire kingdom that she is a noblegriffon in name and skill both.

So she has to battle against three other teams, the incompetence of her partner and the biggest monsters the eastern continent has to offer.

The game is on.

Since this story is a sequel to an AU-fic some of the terminology used may not be familiar to the new reader, and quite a few things are different from the show. While reading the original fic is encouraged, I will try my best to make this fic stand on its own two legs and everything important will be explained in due time.
